well it depends on what kind of drum you are talking about. if you are talking about a snare, the bottom head shuts off all the ringing sound and adds a surface for the springs to "buzz" up against. without it it will sound like a tom.
If you're talking about the big one on a drum kit, it's called a bass drum...
the bass drum (also called the kick) is one of the 2 foot pedals. It's the one (if facing the kit) on the right hand side.
thanx!
It is called the top part of a drum
The resonant head.
Without a bottom head you will not be able to tune your drum.
from the bottom of the drum
the bottom head
Yes, the bottom head is usually thinner and the top head is usually coated while the bottom head is clear.

from the bottom of the drum
Yes, but it is not recommended if the drum was designed to have a bottom head as the shell might lose its shape over time.
It has to do with the tightness with which the head is stretched over the shell. The tighter the drum head, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. If the drum has a head on the top and bottom of the shell, the pitch is more controlled from the top head whereas resonance is more effected by the bottom head.

A drum has a head or skin fitted to the top and bottom of the drum. The top head is called the batter head because this is the head or skin that you actually play on with the drum sticks.The bottom head is called the resonant head. This head is responsible for the audible tone of the drum.When a drum is tuned, both heads get tightened or loosened to achieve the right sound the drummer is after.
the head If you mean a drummers drumstick it is called the tip.
the snares on a snare drum are on the outside of the drum. the causes the vibration to not be affected by the accoustics =================================================== Snares are located on the outside of the bottom head.
If played with a stick, and if the drum has two heads (top & bottom); The stick strikes the top (batter) head, sending air through the shell of the drum, making the bottom (resonant) head resonate. This results in sound waves emanating from both batter head (attack), and resonant (pitch, tone & projection).
The technical term for the head of a drum IS drum head. If there is another term i do not know it.
